Loch Lomond Villa is committed to enhancing the health and wellness of older adults across the globe. The Loch Lomond Villa Research Program conducts high quality research that seeks to improve health outcomes and quality of life for older adults living in long term care and those living independently. Although Loch Lomond Villa has always been passionate about taking an active role in research and providing care that is evidence based, our Research Program was officially established in September 2018. Since its establishment, Loch Lomond Villa Research has become a community catalyst for health research and innovations that serve to benefit older adults in Saint John, and beyond.
